Prologue

"Good job, mates!" pagbati ni Isaac at tinapik ako nang marahan sa balikat.

Humalakhak siya nang siniko ko siya at tinalikuran para batiin ang mga iba pang kasamahan na lumapit.

Nagdiwang din ang lahat at nagbatian. Some came towards me and greeted me with my performance.

"Oh my God! You did really great, Olivia."

"Thank you. You did great, too." I smiled.

We took pictures and laughed about our epic failures during the show. Mamaya daw ay may after party sa isang sikat na resto at club kaya nagsialisan na ang lahat para maghanda. Pumunta na rin ang ako sa dressing room para mag ayos.

Finally after so many hectic and tiring days! Kataapos lang namin magtanghal ng isang sikat na show rito.

While on the way to my dressing room, a familiar man approached. Albert, with his costume, walked towards me with warm smile.

"Hey, Olivia. Are you coming to the party?"

"Uhm, no," walang pag aalinlangan kong sagot at nagpatuloy.

"You did great!"

"Thank you. You did great, too."

Matagal ko nang nakakasama si Albert sa mga shows dito. Maayos naman siyang kasama at naging isang mabuting kaibigan ko na rin. Isa siya sa mga tumulong sa akin dito nang unang sabak ko palang dito.

Iyon nga lang, he's very transparent with his moves. He's probably hitting on me. I already knew since then. Isang beses na rin siyang umamin.

"You should come and celebrate with us."

I turned to him. His blue eyes are sparkling with hope. I smirked with no humor.

"I have something to do later. I can't go."

"But... you're the main cast of the show..."

"So?" I lazily fired.

"You should-"

"Kung gusto mo, ikaw na lang," pagta-Tagalog ko kaya napamaang siya.

Tuluyan na akong nakapasok sa silid. May dalawang babaeng bumungad sa akin pagkapasok ko. Hindi lang naman talaga ako ang mag isang nag- ookupa nitong dressing room. Ang isa riyan ay kahati ko.

They didn't notice me entering the room. Bukod sa siguro'y di na mapapansin ang presensya ko dahil sa mga bibig nila, di ako masyadong nag ingay. Nanatili lang ako roong nakatayo.

"That bitch, she doesn't deserve that role," angil ng isa habang umiiral.

"She probably bedded the director, don't you think?"

"She's not even good at acting! Olivia's just a newbie! Maybe what you said was true, huh?"

Tamad akong umirap.

I stride inside the room. Sumulyap lang ako sa kanila at hindi na nagsalita. I stared at my reflection on the mirror.

"Hi, Olivia!" anila.

"You did great ealier!"

I lokked at them and nodded like it's no big deal. Like them.

I walked towards the table where my things are put on. I picked my phone and saw a flash on the screen with my manager's name. I ended it smoothly.
